أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِذَا سَمِعُوا صَوْتَهُ سَبُّوا الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِهِ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْفِضُ صَوْتَهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ مَا كَانَ يَسْمَعُهُ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ} [الإسراء 110] بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا

✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his voice with the Quran, and the polytheists, when they heard his voice, would revile the Quran and the one who brought it. So the Prophet ﷺ would lower his voice with the Quran such that his companions could not hear him. Then Allah revealed: {And do not recite loudly in your prayer or be silent therein} [al-Isra: 110] — meaning in it — {but seek between that a way}.
